Howdy Y'all, I am having fun visiting your blogs and seeing what you are doing lately. We, like a lot of you, had a beautiful weekend and we are back to rain this Monday morning. This morning I am looking into getting some quotes on some curbing for the front of our house, I am also switching my car insurance this morning along with making a list of chores and groceries.
I went to my regular doctor on Friday with the kids thinking it will be a quick visit which it would have been if I hadn't been guilted into taking the hour long sugar test I had been avoiding. I am confident that I don't have gestational diabetes so I wasn't going to have that test done. I told my doctor, who agreed, I probably don't have gest. diab. YET he wasn't willing to risk missing a diagnosis on the off chance it came back positive. AND am I willing to risk the baby being stillborn because I didn't catch the diagnosis. and the answer is NO. now that I have been sufficiently guilted I will go to the lab and do the test so that I can sleep at night. So we were all at the doctors office for an hour from start to finish for my appointment and then we started the lab portion which takes another hour. SO MUCH FUN. Had I drank the orange goo when I got there and had my blood drawn after my scheduled apt, we could have saved an hour of chasing my kids up and down the stairs and the whole bit but because I have guilt I turned a short trip into a 2 hour visit. The kids were actually pretty good considering. So far visits have been normal with no significant findings and I will let you know the result of my sugar test. as if we don't already know. Maybe I'll have a surprise for you. we'll see. The kids are ornery as ever as am I apparently. More Later.

We had a picnic just today ourselves! Isn't it nice to have the weather warming up? Good to hear that your baby is well too. I didn't want the glucose test either. There was no guilt, just insistance and threatening to finger poke me at every single visit thereafter if I didn't. I was not happy to say the least. Our baby is active and well too. What a blessing!

Sorry about your Dr. Appt. Maybe if you weren't such a punk you wouldn't have to be punished like that.
Kids look cute though.
Have a super-duper day!

I'm unfortunatley having to look forward to the same test next week, but I'll make sure to leave the kids home!!! It looks like you had a fun weekend as well. It's sooo nice to have the weather make a turn around, but you know Idaho, it's turning around again as we speak!!

Hey- on the baby name. Do you like Eli Stanton? I like Eli a lot, but I like Stanton in the middle too. Levi is winning & that's a great name too.

Hey lady! I am WAY new to this but wanted to say hi :) I had to take the 1 hour test back on the 1st but luckily all was well - this is only the 2nd time in 6 pregnancies i've had to have it but now my dr. requires it for all patients, it's not an option darn it.

Give everyone hugs and kisses from us here in Utah! xoxoxo Jenn
